- Which is the most impressive new compact luxury SUV?
We pit the 2018 Volvo XC40 T5 R-Design against the Jaguar E-Pace P250 the 2018 BMW X2 sDrive20i and the Audi Q2 2.0 TFSI Quattro.
We, the Australian new car buying public, have made it clear what we want - compact SUVs and luxury cars. Luxury small SUV sales are up almost 20 per cent in 2018, so it’s no surprise that’s what car companies are focusing on when expanding their respective line-ups.

XC40 beats everthing in it's class time after time, well done Volvo!
Volvo is seriously on a roll. Looks fresh and funky as does the Jag E pace at a price big unfortunately.the Bmw is more like a hatch that the 1 series should of been. The Audi looks sharp and has a digital modern look. All are lovely but Volvo easily wins this one.
Volvo really does have a great package!
Volvo is giving serious competition to brands like BMW Audi and Mercedes. Can't wait for the V60.
Maybe the other brands has to offer more accessories or lower the price a bit. Here in Denmark many will go for the Volvo because of style and value for money
The Volvo is also one full size larger than the X2 and Q2. The Q2 feels like a jacked up Polo to me when i sit inside.
Volvo XC40 R Design all the way. What an absolute belter !
Volvo is the best car.!!!
Volvo XC40 is the complete package with the best features.
Jaguar the best most attention grabbing style, pity about the price and number of costly options.
BMW only looks alright in dark colours but not so in lighter hues. Interior it's weakest link.
Audi got trumped by Volvo in designing a better boxy/edgy design that actually gels and has the same weakness as Jaguar's costly option.
I sure hope the XC40 translates into a great sales success because they deserve it, in every comparison I've seen it beats the competition fair and square.
Fair and balanced review well done 👍🏽. For me I think that Jag looks phenomenal, particularly the exterior - if it’s got to be a compact SUV got to be that
buying a bad car for the looks is dumb
it's not really that bad
I think the Q2 should be second my dad has one and it is a performance and comfort machine it is really stylish and it has all the new features and has android auto and apple car play
The Volvo is my 1st choice it's such a nice looking car.then the Jag 2nd.the 2 Germans can do one.both hideous.
Where is the BMW X1 or Audi q3 or Range Rover Evoque or Mercedes Benz gla class or Lexus ux or Mini Countryman
I like the E-Pace but I think Jaguar did a fantastic job with the F-Pace instead. It is difficult to justify for the E-pace higher sticker price (no apple car play, no android car play, cheap materials, poor mpg, sub par engines, sluggish infotainment). Ian Callum does a decent job with the design but Jaguar needs to step back and tweak lot of different things to bring it back to competition. Jaguar seriously need to work on their pricing and if they want to be called a premium brand they should use high end material (leather, wood) to make the cabin look much better. You cannot compete with merc, bmw and audi with substandard materials. Another thing, they might have got much better with reliability from where they were under FORD but it still needs lot of other detailing to gain customer confidence. People whoever wants to buy a Jaguar, the first question they ask before anything else is it looks fantastic but how reliable is Jaguar even though with a 5 yr/60 K warranty
Volvo maybe the best out of the lot but time will tell about the cheap Chinese parts reliability even though manufactured in Sweden.
Personally I will pick the Jaguar I-Pace instead
XC40 consistently winning these comparisons around the world - seems like a great car. However one big inconsistency is the reviewers view on the dynamics of the E-pace. This reviewer says ‘most dynamic of bunch, truely fitting a Jaguar’ whereas a lot of reviews ( many from UK publications) are saying the opposite - I.e. disappointing to drive, and not fitting of the Jaguar ethos. In fact I see Matt from CarWow stated in their latest comparison the XC40 was better dynamically than the E-pace
roto ehu Funny, because the E-Pace still drives better than the Volvo.
Excellent comparison... Well done 😎 👍
Jaguar is first for me, looks stunning. Volvo is a close second place. BMW and Audi are the usual dull German boxes.
I thought they are Cross overs 🤔🤔
Great work team. Thanks
Thank you! Happy you liked it.
Nice video and great verdict!
I have seen many comparison tests involving the XC40, and it wins hands down on every occasion, because it does everything so well, I don't get the Audi, or BMW, because they are not true SUVs, simply because they are too low, I would say they are slightly jacked up station wagons, or estate cars (in the UK ).
Very fair and informative. Thank you
Couldn’t agree more about the E-Pace the exterior looks odd and not very exciting to me and the interior is incredibly bland, dull and underwhelming. BMW and Volvo would be my 2 to choose from.
Does the jag have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay? You didnt say
O Gordon No unfortunately.
Volvo is killing it with XC40.
Volvo ROCKS!
Very good comparison. 👏👏
The MY21 comprehensive downgrades for the XC40 will ruin its popularity. It has for me and I’m cancelling my order. The downgrades even extend to the keys. Well key, you only get one now! FFS. That’s cheap.
The UPGRADED X2 or X1 is a much better shout.
You mention CarPlay. Whilst BMW now add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Volvo want £300GBP.
Naughty, Naughty Volvo. Wag’s finger.
What's with the Audi color, it looks like it's still in Prima.
To me 1st Volvo,2nd BMW,3rd Audi and last is the worst jaguar it's a worst modern jaguar . Ugly interior & exterior . Unnecessarily heavy . This jaguar is simply sucks
Pankaj Tayal I disagree there. The Jag is gorgeous.
Rondel Moore : it's subjective matter sir . You like the jaguar e pace design it's o.k but I don't like it infact I don't like even xe and xf .
wow.., australia is beautiful
I like xc40
Pointless reviewing the Volvo (especially in R Design). They have no stock to look at, none available to test drive and ordering one sight unseen, you’ll be waiting until November.
Very sloppy release from Volvo...
WhatCar has already done this comparison. Sorry
FWD, and the name at the top says quattro. ):
Swedish flag, doesn’t change the fact they already sold their brand to china
They are owned by a Chinese company, yes. And they're producing the best Volvos ever by pumping a lot of money into the brand. It still is engineered and designed by Europeans and Americans. It has a Scandinavian design, even though it was designed by a German, an Austrian, an American, and a Brit.
Jaguar = Tata Motors, India
🤷♂️
Volvo looks so cheap inside, wondering how people are fulled with all those reviews. Dash and design is Yes or No , similar to Nissan Juke when debuted, but the rest is under par. Space might be the best, but the design is so boxy! Jaguar is the best looking inside and out! BMW is OK but clearance is like a car, luggage is mediocre, inside looks like most of BMW so far. AUDI? No comment ! Worse looking SUV between 4.
That Audi is hideous
Q2 and X2 are not SUVs, look at their height, they are just compact hatchbacks that are marketed as SUVs so they can sell them for 10k + more, what a joke.
Except they are taller than hatchbacks.. weird.. it's almost like there's room for an in-between sized car..
FWD booooooo
Want an overpriced, oversized underperforming not so compact but not very practical small SUV? One that doesn’t offer exceptional sedan or hatchback handling, performance, full size SUV or wagon practicality?
As well as mediocre fuel economy?
Take your pick here folks!
Fair Call touchstar68,
Put up some examples of what you think is a better alternative:)
Personally, I think the 3008 can run with these!
Please.. some people need more space and height than a hatchback but don't want to drive a dog like any full sized SUV..
Those are The ugliest Cars in history, all of them and they're all in one Place!....
